I need a plan.

FYI [The bag photos really have nothing to do with anything. We've just been having a thing for bags around here lately...]

Sometimes blogging just comes. A lot of the times it just doesn't. At least for me. A lot of times I struggle to find the time, the structure, the creativity to post something that I think will be interesting or informative to all of you great people who read this. I'm not sure why this is exactly, its not like I don't write all of the time. I write articles, I help with homework, I edit my husband's press releases, I write patterns, I write letters and emails, I write thank you's, I write books, blah, blah, blah. I write for a large part of each day. I do.

But the blogging... it just doesn't always flow for me. A lot of the time, I feel a bit stuck. I think I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the process of writing the post. I am always glad I did, when I am done. I am usually happy with what I have posted about, after I push the save button. I am always glad to "talk" to all the fun people I have met through the process afterwards. But there is something about the process that just doesn't thrill me.

I think I need a routine. I think I need a better plan. Like everything else in my life, unless I create some kind of structure and plan around it, it just doesn't happen. We even have a joke around these here parts, that in our house, we need a plan to go to the bathroom. Don't even ask, I think one of those very creative boys I am raising came up with that one!

Needless to say, I need a plan. I absolutely love all of the "plans" some of my friends have started doing on their blogs in the past couple of months, Brenda's sweet daybook posts, Camille's Friday Feature, Sandi's family recipes, Jackie's a photo a day. I think I might be very uncreative and try something like that. They have me a bit inspired. Let's see if that might just lead to a plan. Plan? Plan? Are you there?  

Okay, I am working on a plan. Really. 

[...a Springy version of Satchel for Two, from Fresh Cottons]. this one doesn't even have a button yet. All from fat quarters!

Meanwhile, while I work on a plan [feel free to send suggestions of any kind. Email or comment is fine]... I have more bags to share. I guess, "a thing for bags" would be a bit of an understatement. Maybe its the coming of Spring or something... 

[...and the inside of the same Satchel, 2nd version]. No button here either!

[...our Purselets, my personal favorite. take it with me everywhere.]

Whenever a store calls to see if this is available for a sample or trunk show, somehow its magically unavailable. I wonder why... as it can usually be found on my wrist on the way to school or soccer practice!

[... and of course the Prairie Rose bag.]

The girlie girl bag, with that little ruffle that's just sweet enough to "girlify" a bag without too much frill. Is there such a thing, I wonder? I am not much of a girlie girl so I think maybe yes. But I know some of my friends would disagree. The girlier, the better.

Okay. The post is done. I still have no plan. But at least I shared some of my favorite bags with you. 

Talk to you soon.
